Bug Description
Trying to write to a mirrored branch on Launchpad just gives the generic "readonly transport" error message, which isn't very useful.
This came up in #bzr a couple days ago, and it took 3 of us half an hour to realize what was going on. :P
$ bzr push lp:~mnordhoff/loggerhead/cheezum
bzr: ERROR: Cannot lock LockDir(

There is another bug about the poor 'Transport operation not possible' message in the general case.
Presumably this case we'd like Launchpad to say "can't write to mirrored branch" across the bzr protocol, and then to have bzr report that error. That may not need any code changes in bzr.
Over plain http it may be hard.
